evident in the Chicago- based
performers. The uncommon, yet
often sought after flexibility,
attained by them is that of post
graduate status, obtained by
Chuck, Helen, Maurice, and

long-existing group but with a
new lead singer replacing the
lone soloist, Smokey Robinson.
They all feel a little nervous
before each show not as much as
